since latest update despite being set to UK all recipes appear in US format and no idea what some of the ingredients actually are - garbanzo beans for a start, who knew that was a chickpea! sort it out please, I love the app but so many recipes bugs this year I'm not sure I'll renew.
★★★★ Lottie Mills (thetorturedartist) 8/7/2025 v7.0.1
can't open anything. you get an never ending loading circle. can't heart anything either. tried updating no new updates. tried everything and still wont work. shame as the app is a good resource but no use if I camt access any of the recipes etc. please look into it and fix it.
★★★★ Isabel 11/28/2024 v6.6
the search experience is soo bad! very often the search does not work at all or is super slow.
★★★★ Andrea 9/26/2024
The app doesn't work. I've contacted their customer service, but they didn't find a solution either
★★★★ Barbara Harding 4/9/2024 v6.0.3
Changing this as the most frustrating app since up grade half recipes missing followed instructions to uninstall and reinstall worked for a while now worse than ever can't even get into app now telling my email wrong won't accept password redone password still won't let me in !!!! Round and round in circles not impressed
★★★★ Rebecca Pearson 4/3/2024
Glitches all the time and now it won't give me the full method for anything. Really annoying as the recipes are great and I have used this app for ages but I may have to delete it because it is pretty useless if it doesn't work.
★★★★ Juliane Greene 3/31/2024 v6.1
App is perfect on Samsung phone but doesn't show the full recipe on Samsung tablet, uninstaled it and reinstalled, no change, hope it's a temporary fault.
★★★★ Jen Shepherd 3/19/2024 v6.0.6
Unusable app, as it crashes back to the home screen each time I try to log in.
★★★★ Jo B 2/19/2024 v6.0.3
Terrible, crashes out, slow.
★★★★ Fawzia R 2/10/2024 v6.0.3
The recipes and content is good but the app crashes all the time. They have the ingredients section but it crashes half the time you can't even see the ingredients at the right time
★★★★ Grant Critchley 1/9/2024 v6.0.2
Was a great app, before and during subscription but now I have unsubscribed all my content/recipes are now unaccessible/no method or ingredients. This wasn't the case before subscribing, app was always freezing/lagging too
★★★★★ Charlie Clegg 3/8/2026 v7.3.2

★★★★★ Keith Kirkhope 2/15/2026 v7.3.1
when you start the sleep story it plays twice at the same time out of sync. seems to be something with the auto play. the pause button stops one but the other will play for about two minutes then stop... been broken for ages, gave it a go to see if it's fixed. it's not. if you restart the paused story, after the other stops, that will stop and reset to 0 after two minutes... does the app know I'm writing this review 😆? it just stopped again... 5 stars if fixed

★★★★★ Sophie Calvert 8/10/2025 v7.0.1
love this app there are some great recipes but unfortunately there have been a few bugs recently which is frustrating several recipes won't open and some with errors on where some of the ingredients are missing the amounts or listed as "null" if this continues i will have to consider cancelling my membership.
★★★★★ helen b 7/29/2025 v7.0.1
I love these recipes and it's such a shame the app is so frustratingly glitch. Shopping list is a nightmare and constantly freezes on me and I have to force the app to close. I've contacted the help desk about it but I still have trouble. The app often freezes especially when I'm using the search function lately. It's so frustrating because I want to use this app for almost every meal but have to deal with the issues almost every day.

★★★★★ Sarah S 7/4/2024 v6.3
Great content. Terrible app. The app crashes all the time and is so slow and glitchy. Its very frustrating to use!
★★★★★ Alexis Brownlee 2/17/2024 v6.0.3
The app is simply too clitchy. It constantly crashes and is very slow to respond, which is very unfortunate given this is a paid app. It has great recipes and I enjoy the idea of incorporating an easy shopping list, meditations, and exercise plans. Maybe the issue is primarily on Androids, in which case it should be given immediate updates to rectify.
★★★★★ Louissa Rees 1/16/2024 v6.0.3
good app in general but the sounds blip on my Google Pixel 8. It's actually also just crashed completely while I was writing this review
